Bend the cable in a laptop power supply can cause the wires to break. At the very least, broken wires inside the cable will interfere with the power adapter and its worst consequences in the event of a short-circuit that can damage your laptop. When using a power supply, make sure that the power supply cable to the laptop that is not pinned on the wall, your computer, or lie under any furniture. I also saw many people wrap the cable around the transformer when traveling with their laptops. Be careful about how you wind the cable tightly to avoid damage.

The transformer overheated laptop AC adapter can cause damage to both the transformer and the circuits inside the computer that is responsible for charging the laptop battery. Transformer from the power adapter laptop cause heat generation due to the change from the electrical outlet is needed for the computer. While designed to tolerate the heat, it is wise to let it cool at least every day so be sure to turn off the laptop at night. In addition, place the transformer in a position to expose to the air flow like in the corner of your desk or as a surface. Air flow to help dissipate the heat. Put it on the carpet will prevent some of the heat from dissipating potentially causing it to overheat.

There is a small surge suppressor that can easily fit into your computer when you travel. The second way involves the purchase of laptop power adapter is universal if you need to replace the original. If the laptop power supply voltage is too low then the computer can draw from the laptop battery to achieve sufficient power. If the voltage is too high then it could potentially damage the battery and computer.
